IPLing two LPARs under one instance of Hercules
I am curious to find out if anyone has been able to ipl two instances of any OS under Hercules when more than one CPU is defined.? I can ipl zlinux and MVS separately with the same config file but not both at the same time when I attempt a second IPL it say ? HHCPN053E ipl rejected.? I was hoping to assign each OS to a different CPU somehow. Of course I can have separate instances of HERCULES running different Operating Systems. regards; Rahim ?? |
1. Hercules doesnt have LPARs 2. Run VM, then ipl each os as a VM Guest Joe On Sun, Jul 12, 2020 at 10:44 PM Rahim Azizarab via <rahimazizarab=[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育Each instance of Hercules presents an individual LPAR or BASIC mode machine. Later on, there may be controlling software that handles multiple instances of Hercules on the same physical machine, thus giving more of the appearance of a multi-LPAR machine. But for now, you have to handle each instance separately. ? Mark ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rahim Azizarab via groups.io

Rahim,
If you load and run VM/370 as the primary OS, then you can run multiple operating systems under it, each in their own "virtual machine."? You could run DOS/360, DOS/VS, OS/360 (MFT or MVT, your choice), or OS/VS1 or MVS 3.8J ... And of course you can also have multiple users signed on to VM running CMS... all at the same time. Where do you think "LPARs" came from originally?? :-) Hope that helps, Mark S. Waterbury |

开云体育Both. VM level such that multiple 16M guest machines can run; guest level to support added concurrent jobs within the 16M virtual machine. Huge amounts of work can be done with this scenario. MVS guests can be interconnected with virtual CTCAs along with VTAM routing. This also permits full disk sharing via full-pack minidisks in scenarios that can break Hercules’ current disk sharing methods under load. ? ?

Hi Mark,
Can you point me to some documentation for interconnecting 2 MVS guests using CTCs and VTAM?? I've got the CTCs genned in MVS, but haven't found any documentation yet on how to take advantage of them.? I'd prefer to work outside of VM, but I'll start there to get it working and then move it outside if I have to. Thanks, Jeff |
